It’s great. I keep it in my fanny pack.

Edit: it’s a uniherz jelly star (green)

    pretty neat phone, really love the idea, but im kind of afraid to order things through aliexpress. not sure hows the return policy, and if they provide repairs and guarantee. im also afraid that i’d find some dealbreaker, and would have to keep a “normal” phone with me too

    i saw it has nfc. does the super strict banking apps work on it? like for ex.: revolut and other bigger banks apps

      No need to use aliexpress, you can order directly from their site, and through dumwireless (which has an exclusive green version):

      https://www.unihertz.com/products/jelly-star

      https://dumbwireless.com/products/jelly-star

      Edit: also yes it works with chase, capital one, google pay, and those are the only ones I’ve tried so far. I’ve paid via NFC with it as well.

      Not sure the return policy with those two, but it’s like $200, one of the cheapest phones I’ve ever owned. Might make it worth the risk for some people. The risk turned out to be a win for me, at least.
